Software Engineering Intern

Since 2017, the company has sold practice management software to dental and veterinary clinics in the UAE. We're looking for a Software Engineering Intern. The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. This role is fully remote within the UAE. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

The work

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
